Issues#

Critical#

None found.

High severity#

None found.

Medium severity#

  • [qe-fig-002] — Four static PNG figures (graph.png, graph2.png, graph3.png, graph4.png). Lines: 57, 78, 84, 96. These are graph visualizations that could in principle be code-generated (e.g. with networkx or graphviz) but here they are intentionally hand-drawn illustrations. Accept as low-priority.

Low severity#

  • [qe-writing-001] — A few paragraphs run two sentences (e.g. 122-123, 145-148).

  • [qe-writing-005] — “dynamic programming” (line 41) bolded as if defined, but used here as emphasis.

Strengths#

  • Title in correct Title Case.

  • All H2/H3 headings sentence case.

  • Equation labels use {math} :label: form correctly with {eq} references.

  • Simple notation (\(J\), \(Q\), \(F_v\)) consistent with qe-writing-004.

  • No transpose, no bold vectors, no \tag, no align issues.

  • Exercise uses exercise-start/exercise-end + solution-start/solution-end with :class: dropdown.
